‘Put Your Hands Up’ 50 Cent (2011) “Put Your Hands Up” is a 2011 track from 50 Cent’s mixtape The Big 10, released as a free project on December 9, 2011 through his ThisIs50 platform under G-Unit rather than as part of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ or The Massacre. The song appears as track six on the tape, is produced by Jahlil Beats, and stylistically fits into 50 Cent’s early-2010s output where he was experimenting with higher energy, club leaning records while operating more independently of the major label album cycle. A full music video for the song premiered on December 27, 2011, continuing 50 Cent’s stated plan at the time to shoot visuals for every track on The Big 10 and push the mixtape like a commercial release. The track also samples “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See” by Busta Rhymes, connecting it back to the late 1990s East Coast club rap while updating the sound for a newer trap influenced era. … #50cent #eastcoastrap #hiphop #hiphopnews #gunit
